Great execution 👏🏼

@alokepillai @haneefghanim @vstaykov Congrats on the launch fellas! Been waiting for this for a long time.

Congratulations on getting this out there - amazing to see a simple and clean way to have structured feedback around elements. I could see using this internally and PM/design teams as well as for freelancers to use to get feedback from clients.

YEEESH this is an awesome product. When I was running loads of web design projects, we desperately needed a tool like this to: 1. collect design feedback from a client 2. suggest web copy in-context 3. have project managers/designers collaborate One non-urgent feature that could be really great down the road is different permissions for different users. I could see wanting collaborators on a project to be able to see all comments, but want clients to only see select comments.

I've followed Pastel from the beginning and it's great to see how far the product has come. Awesome work guys and congrats on the launch!

This is AWESOME! Congrats on the launch guys! Really excited for you and excited to use the product! Got a few questions for you: 1. Would there be a JIRA integration? 2. Will this work with feature flags? (I am an admin user on my website, for example) 3. Does this work on mobile web? 4. Native mobile support coming soon? Would love that!!!

Hello everyone! Very excited to finally launch Pastel to all of you. We are a team of 3 freelancers and for the past 6 months, we have been working with over 15 agencies and freelancers to keep iterating on a product we call Pastel. Pastel is designed for agencies and freelancers to make it easier to mark up live websites with feedback. We grew tired of seeing vague feedback and screenshots in long emails, so we built a way to turn any website into an interactive canvas and make leaving comments as easy as leaving sticky notes on a webpage. That's exactly what we are proud to show to the PH community today. A huge thank you to all the agencies and their feedback. We have a goal of serving 100 customers by the end of the year and we are 20% there. As a celebration of our launch, you can use the code 'ProductHunt' for a 10% lifetime discount.

Congrats @alokepillai @haneefghanim @vstaykov on the launch! I've seen Pastel and its evolution since it's early days and couldn't be more excited for this team and product.

The product looks great guys! Your site looks a lot like Slack's new landing page, did you get inspiration from there? Regardless, great design!

I've been using Pastel with my distributed team to get feedback as we iterate on our homepage. Definitely the nicest tool for getting live site annotation. And a killer team.

This looks really, really cool. Wondering if there're plans to export tasks to other task managers. Will probably give it a go before other integrations are ready though!

This looks like a godsend! This will be a superb introduction to my creative freelance team! Great work!

Our mission is to provide every client with the highest quality service, delivered with exceptional standards of professionalism. Not only does Pastel allow us to achieve this mission, it helps us exceed it. We’ve been helping our clients develop awesome websites for years, but have never really nailed the feedback process. Existing tools were either clunky, slow to onboard users, or required specific browsers or plugins. Pastel nails these features. Setting-up a page takes seconds, Pastel’s interface is clean and simple, and our clients need zero instructions to leave feedback using Pastel. Go ahead and compare competing products like we did; you’ll find that Pastel is the best tool for rapid feedback. Period.

Pros:

No downloads or plugins necessary, simplest product in its category

Cons:

I'd love to see an updated dashboard with categorization, sorting, etc.

Haven't used it yet but looks cool! And just in time for a project I am working on. By the way, I didn't see a Pricing page.

Hi there is there a way to give feedback to pages that are behind a login page?

Great product!

Love the idea and the actionable implementation! Also very helpful to quickly iterate on prototypes/mvps/landingpages during product discovery! :) It took me a minute to fully understand the product just from the website though. The video did the job then, but from the website I'd have had some questions on how it actually works...

As a UX Consultant, using this tool with both developers and clients has saved me HOURS of billable time because we can get right down to the "PINS" and everyone can see the comments and iterations that have been made or are in progress. Definitely a must-have in the product development cycle.

Pros:

GOODBYE SCREENSHOTS & LONG EMAIL THREADS!

Hands down, easiest tool for getting feedback on live sites!

Cons:

None so far.

I was able to get early access to Pastel as part of a distributed product team. One benefit that might not be immediately obvious is how this organizes feedback in a way that saves everyone time.

My previous workflow consisted of a combination of edits being made in Chrome inspect element, and annotating on top of screenshots. Then, a whole bunch of back-and-forths in slack. Searching through slack and cross-referencing who's talking about what exactly is basically impossible at a certain point. Pastel solves this beautifully.

Pros:

Extremely easy to pick up and use immediately, particularly with remote collaborators with a slight language barrier and non-techy clients.

Cons:

N/A.

Just signed up for a demo today and am loving the Shopify Partner offer *Wink*. This will be a very useful tool for our website and landing page development. On mobile chrome, the app seems broken. I cannot scroll down on the page when in 'browse mode'. Any ideas why this might be happening?
